That's really funny. I never thought of it that way.
There are a few exceptions to the double negative law that are not unsaully shown learn in textbooks--at least the ones I've seen. They include the words anymore and yet. These two words are almost always negative, but must accompany another negative word.
(I don't do that anymore. I haven't done that yet). Yet can sometimes but rarely be used without another accompanying negative, but I think the meaning is slightly different (She has been ill, yet she is able to continue to work.)
